HB1023 Honey Badger Pocket Knife Folding Flipper EDC Deep Pocket Carry for Outdoor Tactical Survival Camping Small Green Drop Point 8Cr13Mov

I picked up the small Honey Badger and could not be more pleased with my purchase.Due to local laws, I must carry a knife with a blade length of 3" or less. At 2.81" the small version is perfect for me.I am a huge fan of forward finger choils since they give you more control while doing intricate cuts and they usually provide better ergonomics. I was worried that the small version would have a choil that was too small, but that is not the case. I wear XXL gloves and the choil is large enough to accommodate. My fingers are somewhat slender so I can't speak for those with thick fingers.The ergonomics of this knife are absolutely excellent. I wouldn't change a thing in this department. Ergonomics are very important to me and the Honey Badger is comparable to Spydercos, which is a great compliment since Spyderco knives are well known for their ergonomics.I was somewhat hesitant because the blade steel isn't considered high end, but the quality, features, and ergonomics really make up for it. I'm actually pleased with the steel since it's more than adequate for almost every task. It's easy to sharpen and it keeps the price low which makes you more willing actually use it(some people don't use their expensive knives as they are afraid of damaging them).It even comes with a deep carry clip so you don't have to bother looking for an aftermarket clip(which adds cost to your investment).If you're reading this trying decide if you should pull the trigger, I say go for it. If you choose the right size for your situation, you will not regret picking one up.I have included a photo for size comparison:Top = Spyderco Native 5 Lightweight (3" blade / 2.45 oz)Middle = Small Honey Badger (2.81" blade / 2.57 oz)Bottom = Spyderco Dragonfly 2 (2.25" blade / 1.20 oz)

One way to think about this knife is according to the most frequently operations used for a pocket knife:1) pull the knife out of your pocket2) deploy blade3) use it4) fold blade5) put it back in your pocketThis makes a lot of sense if you use a knife a lot for mundane EDC tasks like cutting boxes or scraping stuff. You need to grab your knife, open it, use it, and put it back all with one hand. This knife makes all of that really easy.This knife is awesome in maximizing the ease and reliability of each of these steps because of two features:First, because the knife deploys using ball bearings, you get a really smooth and easy open. Using the flipper to open is fairly easy but takes a bit of pressure (nothing crazy), or you can flick it open using the hole. In either case, the blade deploys quickly and smoothly.Second, this has probably the best clip I've seen. The clip is deep carry, but the screws are counter-sunk into the handle so that they don't catch on your pocket when you put it in. The clip is also really beefy, so there is a nice big area to catch the pocket edge. It's also got just the right amount of tension. This makes drawing and replacing the knife with one hand super easy to do.It seems a little silly to hype up these features, but for me it makes the knife really wonderful to use. I will say that the blade is not "razor sharp," but it seems to sharpen just fine, and I'm not using this thing for surgery or anything. I just need to peel an orange every now and then.

OK, I admit that the "Honey Badger Just Don't Care" Youtube video may have twigged me to this knife above the others offered on Amazon.However, after studying up on Knife steels, folding knife actions, handle materials and form factors (yeah, I actually am an Engineer) I decided that the Small Honey Badger was the best Pocket Knife I could buy for the money. (Value=features/$$).Other reviewers wrote that this knife rivaled the $100 ++ Benchmade knives they "had" been carrying. Have to take their words for it, I never spent that much on a knife, cause I'm hard on my knives and tend to ultimately lose my Pocket Knives.After a week of use I do know that this Honey Badger knife puts all my Swiss Army, Buck and Gerber pocket knives totally in the shade.-The multi-mode action is smooth as silk;-The blade is very sharp (so I'm less likely to cut myself) and likely to stay that way due to the modern alloy steel it's fashioned from. Supposed to be easily sharpened too.-It looks nice (mine is grey) and doesn't scream "SCARY TACTICAL ASSAULT KNIFE!!!!" Like so many higher end knives do.-It fits my hand perfectly with a 4 fingered grip, on a rounded, non-slip grip surface.-The pocket clip makes it dissappear in my pocket, and doesn't dig into my hand when I use the knife.-The short, rugged blade is easy to control for precise cuts.**This makes it a good general purpose work knife, the only kind of knife that I give pocket room to.This is The best, most ergonomic, pocket work knife I've ever owned.

This small knife is a workhorse! I use it everyday to open the hundreds of plastic bags and wraps for my company and it just goes and goes! I've not had to resharpen it at all, and just used a denim strop I made from an old pairs of jeans. This 8CR13MOV blade is so easy to bring back to razor sharp with just a few passes on the strop. It's a small powerhouse with a strong lock, that keeps your fingers safe, which is easy to open and feels great in your hand. Buy this knife!
